微塑料(MPs)作为农业土壤中的污染物的出现越来越令人担忧,对土壤生态系统构成重大威胁。鉴于各种类型的国会议员对生态系统的广泛污染,包括聚苯乙烯(PS),聚氯乙烯(PVC),和聚乙烯(PE),了解它们对农业生产力的影响至关重要。本研究旨在调查不同类型的MPs(PS,PVC,和PE)在添加稻草生物炭(RSB)的情况下,向日葵(HelianthusannuusL.)生长的各个方面。本研究旨在检查植物生长和生物量,光合色素和气体交换特性,氧化应激指标,以及各种抗氧化剂(酶和非酶)的反应及其特定的基因表达,脯氨酸代谢,AsA-GSH循环,植物中的细胞分馏和收获后的土壤特性。研究结果表明,土壤中不同类型的MPs水平升高显著降低了植物生长和生物量,光合色素,和气体交换属性。不同类型的MPs也诱导氧化应激,导致各种酶和非酶抗氧化剂化合物的增加,基因表达和糖含量;特别是,脯氨酸代谢的显著增加,AsA-GSH循环,并观察到细胞成分的色素沉着。有利的是,RSB的添加显着增加了植物生长和生物量,气体交换特性,酶和非酶化合物,和相关基因表达,同时降低氧化应激。此外,RSB修正降低了H.annuus植物的脯氨酸代谢和AsA-GSH循环,从而增强细胞分级分离并改善收获后的土壤性质。这些结果为可持续农业实践开辟了新途径,并显示出解决农业土壤中微塑料污染引起的紧迫问题的巨大潜力。
The emergence of microplastics (MPs) as pollutants in agricultural soils is increasingly alarming, presenting significant threats to soil ecosystems. Given the widespread contamination of ecosystems by various types of MPs, including polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene (PE), it is crucial to understand their effects on agricultural productivity. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of different types of MPs (PS, PVC, and PE) on various aspects of sunflower (
Helianthus annuus L.) growth with the addition of rice straw biochar (RSB). This study aimed to examine plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments and gas exchange characteristics, oxidative stress indicators, and the response of various antioxidants (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) and their specific gene expression, proline metabolism, the AsA-GSH cycle, cellular fractionation in the plants and post-harvest soil properties. The research outcomes indicated that elevated levels of different types of MPs in the soil notably reduced plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments, and gas exchange attributes. Different types of MPs also induced oxidative stress, which caused an increase in various enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant compounds, gene expression and sugar content; notably, a significant increase in proline metabolism, AsA-GSH cycle, and pigmentation of cellular components was also observed. Favorably, the addition of RSB significantly increased plant growth and biomass, gas exchange characteristics, enzymatic and non-enzymatic compounds, and relevant gene expression while decreasing oxidative stress. In addition, RSB amendment decreased proline metabolism and AsA-GSH cycle in H. annuus plants, thereby enhancing cellular fractionation and improving post-harvest soil properties. These results open new avenues for sustainable agriculture practices and show great potential for resolving the urgent issues caused by microplastic contamination in agricultural soils.
